Chapter 1: Victim one- Jake

I stared at him as he took a deep breath, his face was covered by the shadow of the night and I waited patiently for what he had to say. I wanted to know why he decided he needed to meet me at 12 am in the middle of the park, where there was no one in sight.

Sure I trusted him, he stood there frail and shaken by life, but I had to wonder when his eyes would open, and what time he would explain.

“Jake?” I prompted touching his arm. He opened his eyes exposing those big brown eyes of his, but he said nothing. He looked at me making me feel out of place. As I crossed my arms I was getting impatient, “Well?” I asked my tone more aggressive now.

“I need time, I don’t know how to tell you, but if you have something to do, then you’re free to go,” he said putting his arm out into the open, allowing me to go. I hardly knew the guy but guilt had swept over me. To me, his eyes and actions cried desperation.

“Fine, but can we at least not be somewhere weird?” I blurted, “Somewhere where maybe we don’t increase our chances of getting murdered?” I said jokingly smiling to myself. He nodded beckoning again to leave, but this time I had a feeling we’d be leaving together. As we began to leave, still he said nothing, in his eyes you can tell he was in a state of shock; he was at loss of words. I could’ve sworn by the crickets playing that we had been alone. Suspicious of our surroundings I looked around swearing I had heard grass shuffling.

“What is that?” I asked Jake. He glanced my way bewildered. I looked around swiftly checking for what might be confirmed by my paranoid self. There was no wind, I grabbed Jake’s hand and started walking faster. If I had moved much faster we would be running.

“What’s the matter?” He asked tugging my hand lightly.

“There’s something weird going on,” I told him, feeling panic now. “Let’s go!” I said running fast with him trailing behind me. It was then the lights started to go out, one by one.

I looked around trying to remember what this park looked like in the day, to find the nearest exit. It was then when I heard one pair of exasperated gasps stop and another sound of feet start to follow, none equivalent to Jakes. I stopped for a minute looking back.

“Jake?” He was gone.

I was alone at this point and I hadn’t even heard what Jake had to say. I wanted to keep going, but I had to turn around for Jake. By now, all the lights had gone out.

“Jake!” I called out while my breathing became heavier. No matter how much I peered, I couldn’t see a thing. Though I figured he couldn’t be that far off. “Jake!” I called again, this time hearing someone cough. I ran to the cough, noticing it was much closer than it seemed. I searched around touching everything my hands could grab.

“I’m right here,” Jake said weakly. I accidentally had grabbed on to his abdomen and his shadow had hunched over in pain a bit. My hands felt covered now by something warm and sticky. “I think I was stabbed,” Jake admitted in pain.

“Can you stand up?” I asked, trying my best to lift him but not hurt him.

“I don’t think so,”

“What was that you needed to tell me?”

“That I was in danger...”

“Than why would you want to meet in middle of nowhere!?” I felt the anger cover my face, but I had felt more helpless than mad. “Come on, we have to get you out of here.” I took his arm to try to lift him but he moaned in pain.

“No!” Jake said. “If I don’t get out of here I need you to take this.” He grabbed in urgency putting a piece of hard paper in my hand. “Run and get help,” he whispered “I’ll be here waiting.”

“But-“

“Go!”Jake said. I looked back one more time hoping this was the right decision. I feared I wouldn’t come back in time or that when I had, it had been too late. After running for what seemed hours in my desperation I had seen straight across a view. It was then I had heard those footsteps. They seemed to be getting closer as I got nearer to the light.

“Crap!” I thought to myself as I felt myself losing more air and finding harder to retain it as I tried to continue in the same pace. I held on tighter to the note, feeling its importance. “Don’t let me die, don’t let me die.” I pleaded with myself. As I came closer to taste the light I didn’t dare stop or look back. Upon broad light I ran a block away more and fell to the ground. The feet had stopped as soon as I crossed over to the broad light the streets had.

As I reached for my phone in my pocket, my shaking hands were making it almost impossible to dial the numbers. “There is only three numbers,” I mumbled finding it ridiculous that my body over took my mind with fear.

The phone rang once before the operator answered.

“9-1-1, what’s your emergency?”

“My friend, friend is stabbed in the park!” I managed to gasp out. I needed to finish this conversation, to help Jake. I needed to read this important note, but my body wanted to rest, the operators voice was fading.
